If you have been staring at the flagship screen wondering whether you should commit to Gram or Demerzel, you are definitely not alone. On paper, Gram looks like the obvious winner. Bigger raw damage, healing, and stat buffs. But once you actually put these two ships into real PvP fights, the result is not as simple as it looks.
Let me walk you through what really happens.
Foundation Galactic Frontier Best Flagship
Gram is a pure stat powerhouse.
- It has built-in healing
- It regenerates 120 energy when its skill triggers
- It gives 15% bonus attack, defense, and intellect
- Its skill scaling pairs extremely well with kinetic builds
All of this means Gram fires off champion ultimates more often, which usually leads to higher raw damage, more shields, and more healing. If you are just comparing numbers on paper, Gram looks like the clear winner.
Demerzel
Demerzel does not try to out-stat Gram.
It out-controls it.
Demerzel’s main skill does three massive things at the same time:
- Reduces enemy energy generation (up to 18% at Tier 3)
- Applies Tactical Oppression, cutting enemy attack and intellect by 20%
- Deals direct damage while applying these debuffs
This is huge. Less energy means fewer ultimates. Less attack and intellect means weaker damage, weaker healing, and weaker shields.
In real fights, Demerzel is actively choking the enemy ship while still dealing solid damage of its own.
PvP Results
In equal Tier 3 kinetic builds, Demerzel consistently performs better in close PvP fights.
Even when the enemy fleet has:
- Higher hero stars
- Slightly higher fleet level
- Similar overall power
Demerzel still often:
- Takes less damage
- Deals more total damage
- Triggers more ultimates due to suppressing the enemy
The debuffs stack up over time, and the enemy ship slowly loses its ability to keep up.
Pick?
Use Gram if:
- You want the best raw damage and fast ultimate cycling
- You are mainly focused on PvE and farming
- You want straightforward stat scaling
Use Demerzel if:
- You care about PvP and mirror-matchups
- You want to weaken your opponent rather than just out-stat them
- You want consistent wins in close fleet fights
If you are serious about PvP, Demerzel is one of the most oppressive and reliable flagships in the game right now.
